He also termed the Master Plan 2041 for Margao as a cosmetic development prepared by a Mumbai bases consultant with the help of AI sans taking into account the public sentiment and emotions.
The young city-businessman said he would expose the names of 1600 voters who come to Margao for one day, on the day of election to cast their votes and stay outside the city for the remaining days of the year.
Chirag said he has showed his inclination to the Congress leadership to contest the 2027 Assembly election from Margao, but has left the question of his nomination as the congress candidate to the party leadership.
Addressing the media to unveil his plans for the city under the banner of Chirag Naik for Margao under the Chirag Datta Naik Initiative, he disclosed plans to open his office on Independence Day before starting door-to-door campaign across the city.
“Margao is sitting on an atom bomb. The burning issues of garbage, traffic and sewerage remains unresolved. These are serious issues affecting the heart and the brain. But, what we see on the face of Margao is just the lipstick and the makeup. We have to see what is there inside. I will show the people during my campaign “a bike ride with Chirag Naik” 100 per cent Margao”, he said.
He added: “We are all Madgavkars. My family have been staying in Margao for the last 150 years. We cannot allow Margao to deteriorate further”.
Saying that the city lacks directions to address the burning issues, Chirag said “there should be an intention to resolve the issues People have been taken for granted. I feel sad that the future of Margao is being decided by around 1600 voters, who do not stay in Margao, but comes to vote on the day of polling. These are managed voters. I will expose these voters in the near future”.
